The day when you get a phone and boot it up and pick the OS you want when you first boot it up and that feeds back to the manufacturer who then pays that flavour of OS some money. That would be nice.
That said I would love a phone that qould instant boot up into a old nokia simple like make calls and access address book on the phone SIM, whilst booting up the rest of the OS.
Booting mobiles today is not the instant access level that calulators are and with that still have a way to go.
In the old cassete based software days it was common to have a short bootloader (C64 mostly this) that had a small simple game like space invaders and you could play that whilst the rest of the software was loaded in the background. All people use mobile phones to make calls and we sometimes have to turn our phones off so a quicker boot time to make and recieve calls would be one feature that I would like more than multiple OS's at the same time upon a mobile.
Maybe if there was a industry standard VM model then phone manufacturers would have an easier time and OS sellers could also have an easier time. Consumers would haev a better choice and certainly for Blackbery they could sell there OS as a VM option and branch out, as would all phone OS manufacturers apart from Apple I suspect.
Would certainly open up the market approach to the phones and the OS aspect and I for one have hopes that one day a fancy top end all singing phone can instant boot to the stage that you can recieve and make calls whilst the rest loads, it is just needed and a overlooked area.
